(CPS) - Vice president and presidential candidate George Bush tired to woo a handful of college presidents a couple of weeks ago, and apparently succeeded. "It's difficult to imagine a more responsive reception than the vice president's" to educators' request that higher education become a priority in the campaign, said Cornell University President Frank H.T. Rhodes after the April 8 meeting at Bush's While House office. Rhodes along with former University of North Carolina President William C. Friday, University of Maryland President John S. Toll and American Council on Education President Robert Atwell -- met with Bush as a part of a series on ongoing approaches to the major presidential candidates. The group, Atwell explained, hoped to get all the candidates' commitments to several college reforms, including more funding for campus programs: Bush, who has defended the Reagan Administration's federal campus program budget cutting, persuaded the group that, if he was elected president, he would not ask for further aid cuts, would support more federal funding for college-based research and would help push for a nationwide college parental savings program. "We see some opportunity here," Atwell said of the meeting. .i-y OT New Wildcat hoop coach discusses strategies Blaine Bringhurst Sports Editor On March 11,1988, the Larry Farmer era at Weber State came to an end.

"The physical beauty of our campus is a source of joy and pride to all of us and to our community. Through the last six months, I have been working with the staff in Buildings and Grounds on a plan which would enable the campus to put on its best "birthday suit" for the centennial celebration," wrote Nadauld in a memo dated April 19. Nadauld's plan calls for volunteers to bring their own rakes or shovels and work from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., April 29, to prepare the area between the Allied Health Building and the Science Building for the planting of grass. "Wc hope we can count on your enthusiastic participation! Thanks in advance," wrote Nadauld. Just 13 days after Farmer was told of his bad fortune, Huston was named as his successor by the incoming Athletic Director, Mike Price. March 24, 1988 marked the beginning of a brand new chapter in Wildcat basketball. With a large list of impressive credentials, it seems that the Huston era just may be one of the most exciting and successful in Wildcat history. Huston has served as assistant coach at several big-time institutions such as Washington, Wyoming, and Stanford. Obviously, when a new coach takes over the helm of a program, a few changes must be made to fit his style of play. It will be interesting to find out just what these changes will be. Here is some insight as to what one may expect from Coach Huston's team. This insight was given by Huston himself in a questionanswer type interview. Question: What type of offense do you plan to use and how do you plan to take advantage of a 19'9" three-point field goal line? "Well, as I look at the ball clubs in the league (Big Sky Conference), the most successful ones are playing a lot of pressure man-to-man defense. So.lhe type of offense we will be running will be to combat pressure. A motion game with a lot of passing will be used. I also have an offense that I like to refer to as a 1-4 because we bring as many people away from the basket as possible, spread the court and try to exploit the back door. As far as three-pointers go, the only negative thing I see is when you miss, you usually have a long rebound that can lead to an easy basket on the other end. So, I am not going to be wholesale three-point by any stretch of the imagination, but we arc going to use the three-point shot because you only have to hit about 37 percent from that distance ..." to be successful. "There is a real fine line of when and how much to use the three-point shot." Question: Do you plan to use the three-point shot as a means of opening up Rico Washington in the middle? "Well, the reason for the three-point shot is that you can make the people inside more more effective because if you have to defend at the 20 foot distance, then it is much more difficult to get back inside and help. We will use the three-point shot if wc have everybody collapsing back inside on our big guys."
